| Abstract | Having been accustomed to passive learning for years, students can sometimes "tune out" their Information Technology (IT) professors during classroom lecture, especially when they are tempted to surf the Web. Sometimes students have a tendency to listen more attentively to peers explaining an IT concept than to the professor. Whole classroom peer tutoring is a teaching technique based on active learning that has shown to be very effective in teaching concepts from basic reading skills to advanced medical procedures. The authors review the current literature on peer tutoring and then present their experience effectively using whole classroom peer tutoring facilitated by CrossTec's NetOp School v4 (now renamed SchoolVUE). With NetOp School, a single IT student can be given monitor focus so that whatever is on their screen is sent to all other screens in the classroom. While a student has focus, other students do not have control of their monitors. Coordinating with the IT professor in advance, a student explains to other students how they successfully completed an IT homework challenge. Afterwards, focus is released so that peers regain control of their workstations where they are given some classroom time to work through challenging homework with a fresh perspective. Those students who complete the challenge early, are encouraged to visit with fellow classmates and help them complete the homework challenge. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
